You know what time it is.

It's time for Ask a Space Man.

I'm your host, Paul Sutter.

You've got questions, and I've got all the answers.

That's right, all of them.

You know how this show works. You

online to Twitter or Facebook use the hashtag Ask a Space Man and Fireway and I'll pick out

questions to answer on this show. You can also send me questions directly on Twitter and

Facebook by following me. I'm at Paul Matt Sutter. That's my whole name. You got to use the whole thing in order

to make it work. You can also email me at Ask a Spaceman at gmail.com or just visit askaspaceman.com

or YouTube.com slash C slash Paul Matt Sutter or just type in the Google's Ask a Spaceman

or whatever and you'll find your way to me.

We have a very, very simple goal with this show, complete knowledge of time and space.

And dang it, we are going to get there someday.

I swear it.

Now, on that path, we have a question from Joan Littland via email asking what is the great attractor.

The great attractor, what is it?

I'm going to give you a moment of silence to insert any dumb joke you can think of about what the great attractor might be.

So here you go.

All right, I hope that was useful. We got all the dumb jokes out of the way. Now we've got

plenty of room for the really dumb jokes, which is my specialty and also kind of sort of maybe an answer to the question of what is

the great attractor. So to get started, we need to set the stage. And our stage is the universe.
